NOTE:  I am not trying to poke fun at or disparage the Scots here, but merely trying to prove that Oscar Wilde's famous quote about Americans and Britons being two people separated by a common language applies equally to the English and Scots.

Very fun! It reminds me of the way Mark Twain would right languages in his novels. Awesome stuff, Gary.

Funny. I love the melody of the Scottish accent, but can hardly understand anything. Thanks for the nice little conversation with subtitles Smile

Very good indeed, I heard Sean Connery loud and clear as I was reading.\
BUT .. the hidden gem was the sign in the background, missing the letter "P". Rather presents an entirely different meaning. Fun to see.

To put the sign in its proper context requires that you can see the whole thing.

I could understand it. Spending many holidays in Scotland helps.

One remark though, I doubt the Scottish still use "Auld Reekie" (Old Smokey) for Edinburgh as it's not very relevant anymore.
